The length & flexibility is perfect for me.

I bought this rod because I was given a reel and needed a rod to put it on. This rod is great for me.

Well, me & Ugly Stik just didn't get along. I bought a medium action two piece Ugly Stik for catching Bass. Well, needless to say, I caught bass but not the Big one's I kept losing! Couldn't get a hook in them. Both times fishing for my PB I hooked then lost the fish of my life. What was wrong? Hooks sharp? yes, lure working? yes, Rod have enough backbone..er..NO! Match your gear to your fishing! I went and bought a 7 foot Medium Heavy action Ugly Stik and boy howdy! What a difference. I'm ready
... for those PBs now! Here fishy, fishy.....

After recently snapping my fresh water rod I was looking for a sturdy replacement. I popped into Academy and i knew i wanted a ugly stik which one of my friends suggested them for their extreme durability so i found this one and luckily it was on sale for $10 off but i love this pole ! very durable and still very sensitive I may even get another one while its still on sale !

This rod is by far the best I've owned. I was sceptic of the micro-guides before purchasing but I can honestly say I believe the micro-guides can be accredited with increasing cast distance and accuracy. You can feel everything through this rod. I definitely will be purchasing more of these in the near future.

This casting rod is amazing.This rod is so light weight that even being a "light weight" myself, I have no problem casting as far as the eye can see.

Great value rod for the price!

I've had this rod for 2 months. I'm considering buying another to replace the Wright & McGill rod I broke. The action is fast enough to be considered "fast". I've fished with it just about every day and put it through its paces. Caught a lot of bass with this one. Still intact, I am growing more in love with it because it's become a good all-around rod for all types of bait; finesse, moving, flipping and pitching. Better grip, power and action than quite a few other name brands without the hefty price tag.

bought one instore about a month ago, the rod itself is good the guides also (the 2 guides closest to the reel seat are double footed for those wondering)
just not enough sensitivity so i returned it, would be good for float style fishing possibly.

When I read reviews by the first guy one has to feel sorry for the rod. This rod is an entry level rod, and has been part of the Hants West Wildlife Association, learn 2 Fish program for years, in 2017 we will host 8 schools, 2 youth groups, a special August adventure group in total 300 to aprox. 350 kids ages 7 to 16 will go fishing from May to August. 80% of our SpinCast combo's are Zebco 202's with Z-Glass rods, do we like them yes. The cost is such that if one should break it does not set
... back a non profit Outdoor group like us any real amount of money. All I can say is thanks Zebco for making this rod for it does the job as far as we are concerned. HWWA L2F program

This was just right for my grandsons. You should strengthen your rod's receiver, as kids are more rough with gear.

Excellent rod for big crankbaits and C-Rig

I bought 3 of these rods and in love with them. DB22 big crank baits are easy to throw if you use a 5.5 ratio reel. Secondly, I use these rods with a carolina rig as well. You can feel soft bits that you normally would miss on a stiff C-Rig rod. Sensitivity is excellent. Highly recommend this rod for both applications.

Great Rod

Best rod for the money no doubt!!!

I bought this rod in store a couple months ago and have not picked up my Waterloo rod since! Incredible lightness and sensitivity...I have a Lews saltwater reel and can not believe how light it is. I have owned Castaway in the past but this rod is over the top.

After I hurt myself playing football this season in Houston, i decided to go down to Academy and get me a fishing rod. This thing is awesome. I have caught several hard heads and crokers with this baby. The slime wipes right off. I cant wait to go get me some more!

Already owning one of these in the 7'3" Heavy version I had to pick up another. These rods are very nice for the price range they are in. The guides were all very strait and the details like excess glue showing etc was non existent on my rod. The color was appealing and easy to spot if you bank fish and lay it down to fish another rod. The rod seems to be quite sensitive, pretty comparable to some of my other rods that are priced nearly double this. And for those of us who like our cork grip
... this was very appealing to me. Seems EVA grips are becoming common and being old school I really like the cork handle. No it's not the most expensive cork on the market but my rod in particular appears to be of better than average quality.

I bought my first ethos rid not expecting much but I loved it so much I bought more. I love the feel of these rods and they are very responsive. I was blown away by the quality. I have a few duckett rods and I like the ethos better than them. I highly recommend these rods to the beginner as well as advanced angler

I purchased this rod back in April and paired it with a new Shimano Curado HG. Primary use for this setup is inshore trout and reds in the LA marsh. It has enough backbone for bringing the reds in and enough flex not to pull the lips off the specks! Add to that the shorter butt section, which makes this a great rod for kayakers!

Excellent ishing rod

This rod performs very well and is built with top craftsmanship. It is light but strong and sensitive.

Smooth as silk with 20 lb power pro slick. Has the fast tip I like and the backbone to turn them . Cast a 1/4oz jig head with a paddle tails a mile . Very easy to use wading due to the short butt on the rod

For the price this rod has functionality. I built this as a reel/rod combo with a piscifun torrent reel for buddies to use instead of my more expensive setups. I went to test it out and hook and set great a small bass easy with a 1/4oz top water. Casting flex was very decent and side cast flicking to aim in tight spots worked predictably. Great rod overall.

I'm not raelly a review guy, but these are great rods at a great price point, and I hope they stay around a while. I purchased one of the 7' med-fast rods a few weeks back, and man this thing is amazing. I own Fenwick, GLoomis, Shimano, Bass pro, All Star, H2O and older Diawa rods, and this falls toward the top. For $40 I wasn't expecting a whole lot, but I was wrong. The reel seat is solid, the guides and nice, and the rod is very sensitive. Its easily hauled a 5.5 lb bass out of the stock
... tank, along with a few 2-3 lb fish. Please keep this one around. Headed to the coast with it next!

Bought 2 of these and love the falcon brand. I use with 3/4 ounce jigs in heavy cover. They have plenty of backbone. Academy does not ship rods very well though. Both rods were in a flimsy cardboard box taped together....lucky they weren't damaged.
